We are writing again to thank linesmen and crews from City of Bedford Electric for their prompt response to outages during recent storms.
Over the years and through difficult circumstance they have always exhibited courage, skill and dedication to their customers. We are lucky to have such fine people working on our behalf.
Thanks again for continued excellence. Keep up the good work.

I’m baffled.
On page one of the November 14 Bedford Bulletin, in the apparent top story of the week, Staff Writer John Barnhart reports on changes to the school board and the city council—interesting news.
But in the same edition, buried on page six, the ubiquitous staff writer plainly informs us the sky is falling.
Isn’t that a bigger story? Doesn’t it deserve front-page coverage?

I write to support Dr. John Hicks for the District 3 seat on the Bedford County School Board.
John Hicks graduated from the University of Georgia. He later earned a master’s degree in education from Lynchburg College and doctorate in education from the University of Virginia.

53.5% of the voters are Women; that means that 46.5% of the voters are men. For every million who vote 535,000 are women and they favor Obama by 12% to 14%; Men favor Romney by 10%.
What this means it’s hard to make up the difference in number of votes. Try doing the math.

I must apologize to the citizens of the Second District of Bedford County.
I have been very privileged to have received your vote to represent you on the Bedford County Board of Supervisors. It was an honor you gave me and I tried to fulfill it as I tried to represent you and all of Bedford County during my time on the Board.

Meet John Douglass.
Brigadier General John Douglass (Ret) of Virginia, has thrown his cap into the political arena and come out of retirement to serve the Congressional 5th District, his state and his country one more time.

Congratulations to a young man in 11th grade at Staunton River High School.
In Downtown Moneta this past weekend, the rescue squad had to be called to assist and transport a lady that had severe muscle spasms which also affected her breathing. She was Spanish and spoke no English.

If the current superintendent of schools is as qualified and well suited for the job as is needed, then ask yourself this question--”What’s the rush to renew his contract before the election?”
Why do certain members of the school board seem intent on doing the contract vote when two districts are currently represented by appointed members and not by persons voted on by the taxpayers of their districts?

The 2012 election boils down to a simple question of values, and the parties offer two distinctly different visions to choose from. The Republican Party values wealth; the Democratic Party values people. The difference between the two parties is clearly evident in the politics of “Obama-care.”
